Rejoicing in Heaven, The Marriage Supper of the LAMB, and The Rider on a White Horse
Rejoicing in Heaven
Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
[
Note:
And after what things? After the fall of the great whore (Babylon the great) in chapter eighteen. The great voice of many people are those who have passed on in CHRIST. Many people, ONE Voice. They all Speak the same thing. Alleluia means “Praise ye, The LORD”.
]
Revelation 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
[
Note:
The great whore is end time Babylon the great, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
(Revelation 17:5) And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
This includes the devil and his fallen angels as the leader over GOD’S children, the whore. The children are committing idolatry by worshiping satan.
GOD calls it fornication so that we can understand the intensity of HIS feelings, but it is idolatry that the children are committing. Those that tried to take GOD'S vineyard are those who have slain GOD’S servants.
They are responsible for the blood of Abel and all of GOD’S servants all through history. In these end times, we can identify them as the tares (those of the synagogue of satan), and the devil, along with his fallen angels and those who are deceived into following them.
Remember the fifth seal, when the saints under GOD’S Altar cried saying: How long O LORD, until YOU avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Well, this is how long. It comes to pass at this point when Babylon falls. And we already know from the book of Daniel that the devil shows up in the middle of the week, which means in the middle of the great tribulation, hour of temptation.
And the hour of temptation is five months long according to Revelation chapter nine. And since the seventh seal shows that there is silence in Heaven for the space of about a half hour, and JESUS returns at the seventh seal, this shows us that the devil will be here on earth as antichrist for about two and a half months. This is based on whether the entire tribulation of seven years is cut short to five months. I have wondered if it is possible that it is only the last half (3 1/2 years) that are cut short for the elect's sake? Considering Matthew 24 and Daniel 9:27.
Let's consider the sequence of events:
"Daniel 9:27" Shows that the devil shows up as antichrist in the middle of the seven year great tribulation.
(Daniel 9:27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Now lets take a look at Matthew 24 at when the desolator shows up:
(Matthew 24:15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
(Matthew 24:16) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
(Matthew 24:17) Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
(Matthew 24:18) Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
(Matthew 24:19) And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
(Matthew 24:20) But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
(Matthew 24:21) For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
(Matthew 24:22) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
The devil shows up as antichrist in the middle of the week. In Daniel, one week is coded as seven years. This means that the devil shows up on the middle of the seven years and causes Communion (The Oblation) to stop. We take Communion to CHRIST in HIS absence, not when HE returns. So, the devil is claiming to be CHRIST.
Notice that it is AFTER the devil shows up in Matthew, Chapter Twenty-four that JESUS says that the days of the tribulation will be cut short for the elect's sake.
Now, let's take a look at what the great tribulation is cut short to:
(Revelation 9:1) And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
(Revelation 9:2) And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
(Revelation 9:3) And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
(Revelation 9:4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
(Revelation 9:5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
We also notice that the delivering up for our testimonies against the devil and the first beast of Revelation 13:1 is before the devil arrives as antichrist in Matthew, Chapter Twenty-four. I believe that the delivering up also happens after the devil arrives as antichrist, but we will need to verify this with the other Gospels.
(Matthew 24:9) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
(Matthew 24:10) And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
(Matthew 24:11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
(Matthew 24:12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
(Matthew 24:13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
(Matthew 24:14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
So, the end must come after the delivering up and by this delivering up, the Gospel is preached.
Now we need to look at this from the perspective of the fifth trump, knowing that the devil arrives as antichrist at the sixth trump.
We know that when we are delivered up for our testimonies that THE HOLY SPIRIT Speaks through us and that ALL who hear our testimonies will hear in their own language.
(Acts 2:1) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
(Acts 2:2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
(Acts 2:3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
(Acts 2:4) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
፧
(Acts 2:14) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
(Acts 2:15) For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
(Acts 2:16) But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
(Acts 2:17) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
(Acts 2:18) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
(Acts 2:19) And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
(Acts 2:20) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
(Acts 2:21) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
As we can see, in the last days, before THE LORD'S DAY begins, we will be delivered up for a testimony and ALL who hear our testimonies will hear them in their own language. And as Peter says, this is going to happen in the last days before the end comes as written in the book of Joel.
(Joel 1:2) Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
(Joel 1:3) Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
(Joel 1:4) That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
(Joel 1:5) Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
(Joel 1:6) For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
(Joel 1:7) He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
(Joel 1:8) Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
(Joel 1:9) The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.
(Joel 1:10) The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
(Joel 1:11) Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
(Joel 1:12) The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
This is the time that Communion will stop. The locust army will swarm. And we will be delivered up for our testimonies where we overcome the devil by The Blood Of The LAMB and by THE WORD of our testimonies.
(Revelation 12:7) And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
(Revelation 12:8) And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
(Revelation 12:9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
(Revelation 12:10) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
(Revelation 12:11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
(Revelation 12:12) Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
(Joel 2:1) Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
(Joel 2:2) A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
(Joel 2:3) A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
፧
(Joel 2:11) And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
As shown in the book of Joel, at the fifth trump, the locust army will swarm. The fifth trump is when the bottomless pit is opened and the locusts swarm the earth. This is before the devil shows up as antichrist unless the fifth trump is the teaching trump. If this is the case then these things happen at the sixth trump when the devil arrives.
(Revelation 9:1) And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
(Revelation 9:2) And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
(Revelation 9:3) And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
(Revelation 9:4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
(Revelation 9:5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
Now we need to look at what is said about the end being delayed once the devil does show up as antichrist.
(Revelation 6:9) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
According to our Studies, the antichrist arrives on earth at the 6th Seal, the 6th Trump, and the 6th Vial, and JESUS returns at the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Trump, and the Seventh Vial. For this to be the case, then the Seals, and Trumps, and Vials must be each speaking of the same event, coded in a way that only those with eyes to see and ears to hear can understand. The antichrist arrives at "666", the Sixth Seal, the Sixth Trump, and the Sixth Vial, and JESUS, THE TRUE CHRIST arrives at the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Trump, and the Seventh Vial "777". If the Sixth Vial were poured out after all of the Trumps were sounded, then it could not be that the devil arrives at the Sixth Vial. Keep in mind that JESUS, THE TRUE CHRIST returns at the Seventh Trump. The devil cannot arrive at the Sixth Vial if JESUS has already returned. This means that the Seals, Trumps, and Vials are all speaking of the same event. What is True is that the Seventh Vial runs all the way through the Millennium to the lake of FIRE, AFTER The Great White THRONE Judgment! After which, The Eternity begins and these thing will be remembered no more.
Now we need to re-look at the Fifth and Sixth Seals:
(Revelation 6:9) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
(Revelation 6:10) And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
(Revelation 6:11) And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
The testimonies are given and then the Sixth Trumpet sounds.
Now these testimonies could be from before, for example the apostles and prophets of old, but at the same time, we have to consider that this is said at the fifth seal, right before the devil shows up as antichrist at the sixth seal, the sixth trump, and the sixth vial (666).
What we see so far is that at the fiifth trump, the testimonies are given and then the devil arrives on earth as antichrist at 666.
(Revelation 6:12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
(Revelation 6:13) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
(Revelation 6:14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
(Revelation 6:15) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
(Revelation 6:16) And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
(Revelation 6:17) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Even though the Seals are given in Revelation, Chapters Six and Eight, and the Trumps are given in Revelation, Chapters Eight, Nine, and Eleven, and the Vials are poured out in Revelation, Chapters Fifteen, and Sixteen, and that these are separated in their descriptions as though one precede's the next, that is only by description. These things are the same events, but explained by military standard.
Signs and Wonders (Signals and Events) Versus Sequential Happenings
(Revelation 6:1) And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
(Revelation 8:6) And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
(Revelation 15:1) And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
Remember, Signs and wonders are not always sequential. They tell of signals and events, but they are descriptions of things to come. It's not the same thing as when one chapter proceeds to the next and the prophet says "And after these things...".
For example:
(Revelation 7:1) And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
(Revelation 7:9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
(Revelation 18:1) And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
(Revelation 19:1) And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Once the Seals were opened, including the antichrist being present on earth at the sixth seal, the destruction of this age is held up until these testimonies are given in which the Gospel is preached among all nations. So, the Seventh Seal (which is equivalent to the Seventh Trump and the Seventh Vial) is held up until the Gospel is preached among ALL nations and The End Time Temple Of THE LORD is finished.
(Revelation 7:1) And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
(Revelation 7:2) And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
(Revelation 7:3) Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
(Revelation 7:4) And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
፧
(Revelation 7:9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
(Revelation 7:10) And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
(Revelation 7:11) And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
(Revelation 7:12) Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
(Revelation 7:13) And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
(Revelation 7:14) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
(Revelation 7:15) Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
(Revelation 7:16) They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
(Revelation 7:17) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
And what happens after the Sealing and After The End Time Temple Of THE LORD is finished?
Then the Seventh Seal is opened and this also corresponds to the Seventh Trump and the Seventh Vial and the flesh part of this age comes to an end.
(Revelation 8:1) And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
(Revelation 8:2) And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
(Revelation 8:3) And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
(Revelation 8:4) And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
(Revelation 8:5) And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
"and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." indicates the Seventh Trump, which is the end of the flesh part of this age.
(Revelation 11:15) And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
(Revelation 11:16) And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
(Revelation 11:17) Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
(Revelation 11:18) And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
(Revelation 11:19) And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
As we can see by these verses, the Seventh Seal is the same as the Seventh Trump.

Rejoicing in Heaven, The Marriage Supper of the LAMB, and The Rider on a White Horse
Rejoicing in Heaven
Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
[
Note:
And after what things? After the fall of the great whore (Babylon the great) in chapter eighteen. The great voice of many people are those who have passed on in CHRIST. Many people, ONE Voice. They all Speak the same thing. Alleluia means “Praise ye, The LORD”.
]
Revelation 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
[
Note:
The great whore is end time Babylon the great, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
(Revelation 17:5) And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
This includes the devil and his fallen angels as the leader over GOD’S children, the whore. The children are committing idolatry by worshiping satan.
GOD calls it fornication so that we can understand the intensity of HIS feelings, but it is idolatry that the children are committing. Those that tried to take GOD'S vineyard are those who have slain GOD’S servants.
They are responsible for the blood of Abel and all of GOD’S servants all through history. In these end times, we can identify them as the tares (those of the synagogue of satan), and the devil, along with his fallen angels and those who are deceived into following them.
Remember the fifth seal, when the saints under GOD’S Altar cried saying: How long O LORD, until YOU avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Well, this is how long. It comes to pass at this point when Babylon falls. And we already know from the book of Daniel that the devil shows up in the middle of the week, which means in the middle of the great tribulation, hour of temptation.
And the hour of temptation is five months long according to Revelation chapter nine. And since the seventh seal shows that there is silence in Heaven for the space of about a half hour, and JESUS returns at the seventh seal, this shows us that the devil will be here on earth as antichrist for about two and a half months. This is based on whether the entire tribulation of seven years is cut short to five months. I have wondered if it is possible that it is only the last half (3 1/2 years) that are cut short for the elect's sake? Considering Matthew 24 and Daniel 9:27.
Let's consider the sequence of events:
"Daniel 9:27" Shows that the devil shows up as antichrist in the middle of the seven year great tribulation.
(Daniel 9:27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Now lets take a look at Matthew 24 at when the desolator shows up:
(Matthew 24:15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
(Matthew 24:16) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
(Matthew 24:17) Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
(Matthew 24:18) Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
(Matthew 24:19) And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
(Matthew 24:20) But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
(Matthew 24:21) For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
(Matthew 24:22) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
The devil shows up as antichrist in the middle of the week. In Daniel, one week is coded as seven years. This means that the devil shows up on the middle of the seven years and causes Communion (The Oblation) to stop. We take Communion to CHRIST in HIS absence, not when HE returns. So, the devil is claiming to be CHRIST.
Notice that it is AFTER the devil shows up in Matthew, Chapter Twenty-four that JESUS says that the days of the tribulation will be cut short for the elect's sake.
Now, let's take a look at what the great tribulation is cut short to:
(Revelation 9:1) And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
(Revelation 9:2) And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
(Revelation 9:3) And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
(Revelation 9:4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
(Revelation 9:5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
We also notice that the delivering up for our testimonies against the devil and the first beast of Revelation 13:1 is before the devil arrives as antichrist in Matthew, Chapter Twenty-four. I believe that the delivering up also happens after the devil arrives as antichrist, but we will need to verify this with the other Gospels.
(Matthew 24:9) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
(Matthew 24:10) And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
(Matthew 24:11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
(Matthew 24:12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
(Matthew 24:13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
(Matthew 24:14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
So, the end must come after the delivering up and by this delivering up, the Gospel is preached.
Now we need to look at this from the perspective of the fifth trump, knowing that the devil arrives as antichrist at the sixth trump.
We know that when we are delivered up for our testimonies that THE HOLY SPIRIT Speaks through us and that ALL who hear our testimonies will hear in their own language.
(Acts 2:1) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
(Acts 2:2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
(Acts 2:3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
(Acts 2:4) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
፧
(Acts 2:14) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
(Acts 2:15) For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
(Acts 2:16) But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
(Acts 2:17) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
(Acts 2:18) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
(Acts 2:19) And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
(Acts 2:20) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
(Acts 2:21) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
As we can see, in the last days, before THE LORD'S DAY begins, we will be delivered up for a testimony and ALL who hear our testimonies will hear them in their own language. And as Peter says, this is going to happen in the last days before the end comes as written in the book of Joel.
(Joel 1:2) Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
(Joel 1:3) Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
(Joel 1:4) That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
(Joel 1:5) Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
(Joel 1:6) For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
(Joel 1:7) He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
(Joel 1:8) Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
(Joel 1:9) The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.
(Joel 1:10) The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
(Joel 1:11) Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
(Joel 1:12) The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
This is the time that Communion will stop. The locust army will swarm. And we will be delivered up for our testimonies where we overcome the devil by The Blood Of The LAMB and by THE WORD of our testimonies.
(Revelation 12:7) And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
(Revelation 12:8) And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
(Revelation 12:9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
(Revelation 12:10) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
(Revelation 12:11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
(Revelation 12:12) Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
(Joel 2:1) Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
(Joel 2:2) A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
(Joel 2:3) A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
፧
(Joel 2:11) And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
As shown in the book of Joel, at the fifth trump, the locust army will swarm. The fifth trump is when the bottomless pit is opened and the locusts swarm the earth. This is before the devil shows up as antichrist unless the fifth trump is the teaching trump. If this is the case then these things happen at the sixth trump when the devil arrives.
(Revelation 9:1) And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
(Revelation 9:2) And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
(Revelation 9:3) And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
(Revelation 9:4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
(Revelation 9:5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
Now we need to look at what is said about the end being delayed once the devil does show up as antichrist.
(Revelation 6:9) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
According to our Studies, the antichrist arrives on earth at the 6th Seal, the 6th Trump, and the 6th Vial, and JESUS returns at the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Trump, and the Seventh Vial. For this to be the case, then the Seals, and Trumps, and Vials must be each speaking of the same event, coded in a way that only those with eyes to see and ears to hear can understand. The antichrist arrives at "666", the Sixth Seal, the Sixth Trump, and the Sixth Vial, and JESUS, THE TRUE CHRIST arrives at the Seventh Seal, the Seventh Trump, and the Seventh Vial "777". If the Sixth Vial were poured out after all of the Trumps were sounded, then it could not be that the devil arrives at the Sixth Vial. Keep in mind that JESUS, THE TRUE CHRIST returns at the Seventh Trump. The devil cannot arrive at the Sixth Vial if JESUS has already returned. This means that the Seals, Trumps, and Vials are all speaking of the same event. What is True is that the Seventh Vial runs all the way through the Millennium to the lake of FIRE, AFTER The Great White THRONE Judgment! After which, The Eternity begins and these thing will be remembered no more.
Now we need to re-look at the Fifth and Sixth Seals:
(Revelation 6:9) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
(Revelation 6:10) And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
(Revelation 6:11) And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
The testimonies are given and then the Sixth Trumpet sounds.
Now these testimonies could be from before, for example the apostles and prophets of old, but at the same time, we have to consider that this is said at the fifth seal, right before the devil shows up as antichrist at the sixth seal, the sixth trump, and the sixth vial (666).
What we see so far is that at the fiifth trump, the testimonies are given and then the devil arrives on earth as antichrist at 666.
(Revelation 6:12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
(Revelation 6:13) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
(Revelation 6:14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
(Revelation 6:15) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
(Revelation 6:16) And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
(Revelation 6:17) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Even though the Seals are given in Revelation, Chapters Six and Eight, and the Trumps are given in Revelation, Chapters Eight, Nine, and Eleven, and the Vials are poured out in Revelation, Chapters Fifteen, and Sixteen, and that these are separated in their descriptions as though one precede's the next, that is only by description. These things are the same events, but explained by military standard.
Signs and Wonders (Signals and Events) Versus Sequential Happenings
(Revelation 6:1) And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
(Revelation 8:6) And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
(Revelation 15:1) And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
Remember, Signs and wonders are not always sequential. They tell of signals and events, but they are descriptions of things to come. It's not the same thing as when one chapter proceeds to the next and the prophet says "And after these things...".
For example:
(Revelation 7:1) And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
(Revelation 7:9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
(Revelation 18:1) And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
(Revelation 19:1) And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Once the Seals were opened, including the antichrist being present on earth at the sixth seal, the destruction of this age is held up until these testimonies are given in which the Gospel is preached among all nations. So, the Seventh Seal (which is equivalent to the Seventh Trump and the Seventh Vial) is held up until the Gospel is preached among ALL nations and The End Time Temple Of THE LORD is finished.
(Revelation 7:1) And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
(Revelation 7:2) And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
(Revelation 7:3) Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
(Revelation 7:4) And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
፧
(Revelation 7:9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
(Revelation 7:10) And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
(Revelation 7:11) And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
(Revelation 7:12) Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
(Revelation 7:13) And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
(Revelation 7:14) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
(Revelation 7:15) Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
(Revelation 7:16) They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
(Revelation 7:17) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
And what happens after the Sealing and After The End Time Temple Of THE LORD is finished?
Then the Seventh Seal is opened and this also corresponds to the Seventh Trump and the Seventh Vial and the flesh part of this age comes to an end.
(Revelation 8:1) And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
(Revelation 8:2) And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
(Revelation 8:3) And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
(Revelation 8:4) And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
(Revelation 8:5) And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
"and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." indicates the Seventh Trump, which is the end of the flesh part of this age.
(Revelation 11:15) And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
(Revelation 11:16) And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
(Revelation 11:17) Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
(Revelation 11:18) And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
(Revelation 11:19) And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
As we can see by these verses, the Seventh Seal is the same as the Seventh Trump.

Revelation Chapter Nineteen - Part Two
Revelation 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. G1519 G165 G165
[
Note:
When something is burned up, the smoke means it is gone permanently, but in this case it means until the end of the age. It is gone permanently, for when the next age begins, the things of this age will not be remembered.

εἰς
eis

A primary preposition; to or into (indicating the point reached or entered), of place, time, or (figuratively) purpose (result, etc.); also in adverbial phrases.: - [abundant-] ly, against, among, as, at, [back-] ward, before, by, concerning, + continual, + far more exceeding, for [intent, purpose], fore, + forth, in (among, at unto, -so much that, -to), to the intent that, + of one mind, + never, of, (up-) on, + perish, + set at one again, (so) that, therefore (-unto), throughout, till, to (be, the end, -ward), (here-) until (-to), . . . ward, [where-] fore, with. Often used in composition with the same general import, but only with verbs (etc.) expressing motion (literallyor figuratively.
G165
αἰών
aiōn
ahee-ohn'
From the same as G104; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): - age, course, eternal, (for) ever (-more), [n-]ever, (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Compare G5550.
Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
This means that the devil's end time one world system, The Great Whore, will only be known until the end of this age, all the way out to the end of the Millennium (THE LORD'S DAY). After that, it is gone always and forever, never to exist again. And if I'm correct, never to be remembered again, because we will never again shed a tear. The former things will pass away.

Revelation 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
[
Note:
I believe that the twenty four elders are the twelve patriarchs of Israel (the father of each tribe) and the twelve apostles. This is not mentioned in Scripture, it is my opinion only, and based on the twelve gates of the New Jerusalem (one for each tribe) and the twelve apostles of CHRIST. I think of it as one representing the 144,000 and the other representing the election. Again, it is only my opinion.
This is the last time that the four living creatures are mentioned in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
[
Note:
“Fear” means to be in awe, reverence, love.
Many waters means many peoples (languages or nations).
GOD reigns; HE takes HIS THRONE, HE takes back HIS earth.

Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
[
Note:
HIS bride consists of HIS true followers; the true church. It’s those that make the first resurrection. She is granted to wear fine white linen which is the righteousness of saints. When we leave this world of flesh, the only thing that we can take with us is our righteous acts. It is our Works. Those who have no righteous acts, no works, will be naked.
Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
Matthew 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
Matthew 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
Matthew 22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Matthew 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
When it speaks of “many are called, but few are chosen”, it is speaking of the election. But because of the work of the election, an uncountable number will be saved. Those who don’t have on a wedding garment will be cast out into the Millennium where they will weep and gnash their teeth. If they do not have any righteous acts, what clothes will they have to wear? They will be naked.
And take note that the end is happening and Babylon has fallen. This is the first time that the marriage supper of the LAMB is spoken of, and the end is already in progress. Many rapture believers would have you believe that they are raptured away to take part in the marriage supper of the LAMB before the hour of temptation takes place on the earth. This shows that their claim is false doctrine.

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
[
Note:
John was in awe of all that he was witnessing, so he falls at the feet of the angel that shows him these things. The angel quickly rebukes him and says to only worship GOD, for the angel is a fellow just like John. This testimony of what happens in the vision comes from JESUS, it is HIS SPIRIT.
]
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
[
Note:
This is JESUS returning. HE does not come as a babe to pay the price for our sins this time. This time HE comes with an Iron Rod to rule the nations.
In Revelation 6:2, the rider on the white horse with the cheap fabric imitation bow was antichrist. The Rider on this White Horse is THE TRUE CHRIST, and HE comes to take back HIS KINGDOM and punish those that are wicked.
]
Revelation 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
[
Note:
The flame of Fire is HIS presence, HIS Shekinah Glory. On his head are many crowns: KING of kings and LORD of lords. HE was clothed with a vesture dipped in Blood: HE was Crucified. And HIS Name is The WORD Of GOD. We have access to that WORD now. We can know HIS Voice.
]
Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
[
Note:
Remember who it is that was granted to wear fine white linen. It was HIS bride. For the fine white linen is the righteousness of saints. Again, what are those garments made from? Our righteous acts. It is the only thing we can take with us when we leave this flesh life. What is righteousness? It means to do what is right. A righteous act can be as simple as smiling at someone who is down, and can reach all the way up to the point at which we cause someone to seek out and follow HIM.
]
Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
[
Note:
Remember in Revelation chapter one?
Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
The sharp Sword is TRUTH. It’s a two edged Sword; the TRUTH cuts both ways.
HE rules with an Iron Rod throughout the Millennium. That is Iron Rod discipline. And as we have already seen, the winepress is where the grapes are harvested. HE harvests those grapes that are wicked with a sickle. You do not harvest grapes with a sickle. The grapes would splatter. They are experiencing the WRATH of ALMIGHTY GOD.
]
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
[
Note:
“KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”:
Mary’s father was of the King line, and Mary’s mother was a Levitical priestess. JESUS is MELCHIZEDEK; THE KING PRIEST. KING OF THE JUST, KING OF THE ELECT.
]
Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Revelation 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
[
Note:
This is the result of harvesting grapes with a sickle. This is how these people will be put into their spirit bodies. The blood will reach up to the horses bridal. The point is that this marks the end of the flesh part of this age.
]
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[
Note:
This is where satan’s system and his role as antichrist ends. These are thrown into the lake of Fire to exist no more. The devil will be placed in the bottomless pit for the duration of the Millennium, then at the end of the Millennium he will be released for a short season to test those who underwent the Iron Rod discipline. After this, he will be cast into the lake of Fire and those who receive the second death will be cast into the lake of FIRE along with the devil.
]
Revelation 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
[
Note:
Those that are left will be slain by THE WORD OF GOD. This is the two edged Sword of TRUTH; GOD’S WORD, THE BIBLE!
]
This concludes chapter nineteen of the book of Revelation. In chapter twenty we will cover:
The Thousand Years, The Defeat of satan, and Judgment Before the GREAT WHITE THRONE.
Dear FATHER, Thank THEE for Blessing our Study of THY WORD! In JESUS' NAME, Amen!

Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
This means that the devil's end time one world system, The Great Whore, will only be known until the end of this age, all the way out to the end of the Millennium (THE LORD'S DAY). After that, it is gone always and forever, never to exist again. And if I'm correct, never to be remembered again, because we will never again shed a tear. The former things will pass away.

I believe that the twenty four elders are the twelve patriarchs of Israel (the father of each tribe) and the twelve apostles. This is not mentioned in Scripture, it is my opinion only, and based on the twelve gates of the New Jerusalem (one for each tribe) and the twelve apostles of CHRIST. I think of it as one representing the 144,000 and the other representing the election. Again, it is only my opinion.
This is the last time that the four living creatures are mentioned in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
[
Note:
“Fear” means to be in awe, reverence, love.
Many waters means many peoples (languages or nations).
GOD reigns; HE takes HIS THRONE, HE takes back HIS earth.

Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
[
Note:
HIS bride consists of HIS true followers; the true church. It’s those that make the first resurrection. She is granted to wear fine white linen which is the righteousness of saints. When we leave this world of flesh, the only thing that we can take with us is our righteous acts. It is our Works. Those who have no righteous acts, no works, will be naked.
Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
Matthew 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
Matthew 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
Matthew 22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Matthew 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
When it speaks of “many are called, but few are chosen”, it is speaking of the election. But because of the work of the election, an uncountable number will be saved. Those who don’t have on a wedding garment will be cast out into the Millennium where they will weep and gnash their teeth. If they do not have any righteous acts, what clothes will they have to wear? They will be naked.
And take note that the end is happening and Babylon has fallen. This is the first time that the marriage supper of the LAMB is spoken of, and the end is already in progress. Many rapture believers would have you believe that they are raptured away to take part in the marriage supper of the LAMB before the hour of temptation takes place on the earth. This shows that their claim is false doctrine.

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
[
Note:
John was in awe of all that he was witnessing, so he falls at the feet of the angel that shows him these things. The angel quickly rebukes him and says to only worship GOD, for the angel is a fellow just like John. This testimony of what happens in the vision comes from JESUS, it is HIS SPIRIT.
]
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
[
Note:
This is JESUS returning. HE does not come as a babe to pay the price for our sins this time. This time HE comes with an Iron Rod to rule the nations.
In Revelation 6:2, the rider on the white horse with the cheap fabric imitation bow was antichrist. The Rider on this White Horse is THE TRUE CHRIST, and HE comes to take back HIS KINGDOM and punish those that are wicked.
]
Revelation 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
[
Note:
The flame of Fire is HIS presence, HIS Shekinah Glory. On his head are many crowns: KING of kings and LORD of lords. HE was clothed with a vesture dipped in Blood: HE was Crucified. And HIS Name is The WORD Of GOD. We have access to that WORD now. We can know HIS Voice.
]
Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
[
Note:
Remember who it is that was granted to wear fine white linen. It was HIS bride. For the fine white linen is the righteousness of saints. Again, what are those garments made from? Our righteous acts. It is the only thing we can take with us when we leave this flesh life. What is righteousness? It means to do what is right. A righteous act can be as simple as smiling at someone who is down, and can reach all the way up to the point at which we cause someone to seek out and follow HIM.

Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
[
Note:
Remember in Revelation chapter one?
Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
The sharp Sword is TRUTH. It’s a two edged Sword; the TRUTH cuts both ways.
HE rules with an Iron Rod throughout the Millennium. That is Iron Rod discipline. And as we have already seen, the winepress is where the grapes are harvested. HE harvests those grapes that are wicked with a sickle. You do not harvest grapes with a sickle. The grapes would splatter. They are experiencing the WRATH of ALMIGHTY GOD.
]
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
[
Note:
“KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”:
Mary’s father was of the King line, and Mary’s mother was a Levitical priestess. JESUS is MELCHIZEDEK; THE KING PRIEST. KING OF THE JUST, KING OF THE ELECT.
]
Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Revelation 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
[
Note:
This is the result of harvesting grapes with a sickle. This is how these people will be put into their spirit bodies. The blood will reach up to the horses bridal. The point is that this marks the end of the flesh part of this age.
]
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[
Note:
This is where satan’s system and his role as antichrist ends. These are thrown into the lake of Fire to exist no more. The devil will be placed in the bottomless pit for the duration of the Millennium, then at the end of the Millennium he will be released for a short season to test those who underwent the Iron Rod discipline. After this, he will be cast into the lake of Fire and those who receive the second death will be cast into the lake of FIRE along with the devil.
]
Revelation 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
[
Note:
Those that are left will be slain by THE WORD OF GOD. This is the two edged Sword of TRUTH; GOD’S WORD, THE BIBLE!
]
This concludes chapter nineteen of the book of Revelation. In chapter twenty we will cover:
The Thousand Years, The Defeat of satan, and Judgment Before the GREAT WHITE THRONE.
Dear FATHER, Thank THEE for Blessing our Study of THY WORD! In JESUS' NAME, Amen!
